Early life
Born in Jamaica, Queens, New York, McNeely moved to Georgia, settling in Cornelia. He was educated at White County High School, before attending Western Carolina University. McNeely played for the Western Carolina Catamounts football team, where he was a three year starter from 1991 to 1993. After graduating, he attempted a career in the National Football League (NFL), but it was cut short due to two Achilles tears within separate training camps.

Professional wrestling career
NWA Wildside (1999–2005) Onyx debuted for the National Wrestling Alliance's Wildside territory in 1999. The following year, he won the vacant Junior Heavyweight Championship on May 20, 2000, after defeating Adam Jacobs in the finals of a tournament. Onyx would hold the title for just over five months before losing it to Lazz in a handicap match with Jeff G. Bailey as his partner. On December 22, Onyx defeated Cru Jones in his first title defense. After Gordy defeated Cross for the title on December 4, Onyx defeated Gordy on the same day to win his second Heavyweight Title, thus reigniting their feud. On the July 9 episode of Jakked, he lost to Haku. On June 14, 2004, Onyx was brought in by TNA as a member of The Elite Guard, and debuted as a member of the faction with Hotstuff Hernandez and Chad Collyer. They were brought in to help Jeff Jarrett in his feud against the 3Live Kru. Two days later, the two factions wrestled on the TNA weekly pay-per-view in a six-man tag team match, which the Kru won after Ron Killings pinned Hernandez. In order to even the odds, the Kru gained Ken Shamrock as an ally to feud with Jarrett and the Guard. The Elite Guard earned their first victory on the July 3 episode of Xplosion after they defeated Mikal Adryan, Dirk Ciglar, and Austin Lane in a six-man tag team match. In December, Onyx and Rainman, now known as The Blackout, were unsuccessful in winning a tournament for the vacant World Tag Team Title. However, they did start a feud with CZW's own Blackout while both teams competed in the tournament, due to Onyx and Rainman accusing them of ruining the Blackout name. On December 9 at Cage of Death 8, Onyx and Rainman defeated the Blackout (Sabian and Robbie Merino) for the World Tag Team Championship. Onyx and Rainman would hold the title until January 13, 2007, before losing it back to the Blackout (Sabian and Ruckus). Onyx retired from professional wrestling in early 2007. ==Championships and accomplishments==
